EXCLUSIVE

When "Mob Wives Chicago" star Pia Rizza found out there were naked pictures of her being shopped to various media outlets ... she knew the drill -- RELEASE THE PHOTOS HERSELF!!!

Pia tells TMZ ... she took the racy pics -- which she allowed TMZ to publish -- sometime last year, while still filming "Mob Wives" and sent them to her boyfriend to get some feedback on whether she had the right stuff for Playboy.

But Pia tells us ... the pics somehow got into the wrong hands -- and someone was trying to sell them without her permission.

Pia says she wanted us to post the pics for two reasons:

1. She doesn't want anyone making money off of HER image2. Yeah, she wants Playboy to notice
